Today is a Monday, the first day of the week. Mikki, otherwise known as Michaela Ruth Colwell, and she lives just five minutes away from my house, and is currently at work downtown, in a chemist and beauty store. I’ve got the day off from my work, in a food retail store, and I’m sat in front of my computer with my ipod playing random tunes, thinking about the future, my dreams, my fears, and what I can do to change the way our lives are.
Me and Mikki have done quite a lot together in the relatively short space of time that we have known each other, we’ve travelled, we’ve dreamed, we’ve laughed, we’ve cried, but everything works out for the better every time, and we’re still the best of friends, for which I am eternally grateful, because she is one truly special and amazing person.
We met in a club in Portsmouth, on Monday, 23rd April 2007, through a mutual friend. We were introduced and got along, and suddenly, you’ve done it all. You’ve won me over, in no time at all. And we never looked back. I call that weekend the ‘best weekend of my life’ because I had gone to Wembley to see my favourite band in a gig, and met the one major influence and change to my life in the space of three days. It’s only been a year and a half since then, but it seems like a lifetime.
Anyway, back to today. Our dreams include; living together, travelling the world, and basically making the most of our existence. We have already started planning to save money, and have come up with a list of places we wish to go to, such as Mexico, Cambodia, America, and Austrailia. We fancy getting one of those classic VW Combi-Wagons to tour along Route 66 and also doing some kind of tour around Asia. But first, we’re going to look into the possibility of living together, getting a mortgage and saving a lot of money. Seeing as we’re now both working full time in our jobs, hopefully we can get the money saved up and by this time next year, reach a target and be a step closer towards a dream fulfilled.
There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be honoured by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up. Most of our lives are a series of images; they pass us by like towns on a highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever. When that moment comes, I’ll let you know.
I think I like today, I think it’s good, it’s something I can’t get my head around.
